A Quick Ode to Summer

Yes, it's thankful Thursday!


Sometimes we read too much Dr. Seuss, it's true. I found myself going through my list of thanks rhythmically today, so I thought I would force you to endure a glimpse into my mind. A short Ode to Summer that I put together in approximately ten minutes........  

New trick = "winking"

Sunscreen, bubbles, take a walk.
Slip n' slides and sidewalk chalk.


Laundry helpers, kitchen cooks.
A fresh batch of summer books


Pointing up at zooming jets.
Watching lots of Wonder Pets.


Pull a weed, pick a flower,
Drive-through Sonic Happy Hour.


Learning how to do our chores,

Side-effect of Summer = falling asleep anywhere and everywhere.

Hearing all about Clone Wars.


Squeeze some ketchup on your fries,
Make some yummy, muddy pies.


Made-up games, scrunchy faces,
Travel to some different places.


August is coming, and it's a bummer.
No more bare feet, no more summer.

"Scrunchy Face" pushing around only the bare essentials. Flashlight, Microphone,  etc.

"Gratitude for the seemingly insignificant—a seed—this plants the giant miracle."
